Sandra Oh News, Pictures, and Videos

Sandra Oh has officially signed off from Grey’s Anatomy for good and now she is opening up to The Hollywood Reporter about her last days on set and how her run ended the way it did.

Here is what the 42-year-old actress had to share:

On if she thought it was fitting that Cristina replaced Burke at his own facility: “Yes. I felt like you could show the most amount of growth by seeing her come face-to-face with one of the most influential beings in her life. To see how she has surpassed him and how she flourishes beyond him. I thought that was a great way to go. It’s almost like you need a big, strong force like Burke to help her get out. What Burke offers her is so tremendous that she’s willing to change her life for it, to leave her family — Meredith and Owen.”

On her last scene withEllen Pompeo: “In the finale, Scene 44 was an extremely important scene between Meredith and Cristina. I remember reading it and I hated the scene. It made no sense to me and I couldn’t connect to it. But sometimes the place that is the most resistant is, a lot of the times, the place to mine. It was deeply emotional. It was the last scene that Ellen and I shot. I can’t speak for how it was for her to shoot that, but at the very end, I remember feeling for our chests embracing. I’m holding her and I can hear that she’s tearing up. I was holding her and it felt like we were one body.”

On if she will return for the show’s eventual series finale: “I told [series creator Shonda Rhimes], ‘If you guys want to finish it out however you want to finish it out, I’d be more than happy to come back. And if it doesn’t fit in that way, I totally understand. I just want you to know that I’m available.’ Who knows! I might be doing something fabulous and it might not work out but I did say, ‘Yes, of course I would.’”

The episode that we have all be waiting for, but really have been dreading all along, has finally arrived and Sandra Oh‘s character Cristina is no longer a part of Grey’s Anatomy.

The 42-year-old actress revealed last August that she would not be returning to show as she felt she didn’t have anything else creatively to add to the program. This gave the writers enough time to conclude her storyline and wrap up any loose ends.

Next season, Grey’s Anatomy will be moving to the 8pm time slot on Thursday nights and ABC will be making the evening a full Shonda Rhimes night!

Sarah Drew gets together with her Greys Anatomy co-stars Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson at the premiere of her latest film Mom’s Night Out held at the TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX on Tuesday (April 29) in Hollywood.

“Creatively, I really feel like I gave it my all, and I feel ready to let her go,” the 42-year-old actress said. “It’s such an interesting thing to play a character for so long and to actually get the sense that she wants to be let go as well. [Cristina] wants to be let go, and I am ready to let her go. We have to start the process, story-wise, for the Grey’s writers to think of why she’s going to go.”

Sandra says she told her co-stars about her plan to leave the show during their table read for the 200th episode today.

“I seriously think I need that much support over processing it over this next year for me to be able to leave fully and leave in a way that I feel like Cristina deserves,” Sandra said. “For the first time, at least for my character, you actually have an endpoint, which in series television you never or very rarely have.”
